The summer
is almost over and I hope everyone has enjoyed it. The career change I
made this year to full-time Director of Instruction has been a good one -
it's been a record year for me. The support and interest in my golf
programs, lessons, and instructional website has allowed me to be
successful at what I enjoy doing most - teaching golf. I look forward to
continuing to improve the teaching program here at the Country Club of
Maryland.

I'm gearing
up for after-school junior clinics and adult clinics this fall. There
is something for everyone and hopefully you can find time in your
schedule to join me on the course or lesson tee.

When setting up to hit a chip-shot make
sure your spine is vertical (shoulders level) and 75-80% of your weight
is in your left leg.
Players, in an attempt to put more weight left, actually bump their
hips to the left and their spine tilts away from the target, dropping
their right shoulder.

Try these 5 steps the next time your practicing your chipping:

1. Vertical Spine (level shoulders)

2. 75-80% of weight in left leg

3. Weight stays left until finish

4. Short backswing with minimal wrist set

5. Finish with club head below knee level
